Rizzoli & Isles - Tess Gerritsen Rizzoli & Isles Search Rizzoli & Iles Rizzoli & Isles follows Boston detective Jane Rizzoli (Angie Harmon) and medical examiner Maura Isles (Sasha Alexander), complete opposites and good friends who solve crimes and bust some of Boston’s most notorious criminals. The one-hour drama is based on the Rizzoli & Isles series of novels by Tess Gerritsen. The show is now in its seventh season. Rizzoli & Iles USA 11 Detective Jane Rizzoli I’m just a girl from Boston who hunts monsters for a living. Yeah, I know I’m not supposed to call ’em that, but that’s what some of them are. Monsters. If you saw what they’ve done, the lives they’ve ruined, you’d want to take them down, too. I’ve wanted to be a cop since a police officer came to my school for career day. I saw how the other kids looked up to him, and I knew that was the job for me. I wanted the gun, the badge. Most of all, I wanted the respect. Felt like I didn’t get a lot of that when I was growing up.

My mom’s a housewife and my dad’s a plumber–we’re blue collar all the way. I had an okay childhood, but I have to admit we were a noisy household. Lots of yelling. After my training at Boston PD academy, I worked my way up from beat patrolman to detective (vice and narcotics) and finally ended up where I am now: the homicide unit. It’s a boy’s club. I get it. Still, it gets old, having to prove myself again and again. I hate whiners, so you’ll never hear me complain. Whining doesn’t get you anywhere, not with the guys in my unit. Not with guys anywhere, for that matter My philosophy for success? Make every perp hunt personal. Get angry, never give up, and for god’s sake, wear flats to a scene. You’ll never catch anyone if you’re wearing high heels. About Angie Harmon Born in Dallas, Texas, Angie Harmon is best known for her starring role as Assistant District Attorney Abbie Carmichael on NBC’s Emmy-winning drama Law & Order.

Her recent credits include the series Women’s Murder Club and the original Lifetime Television Movie Living Proof, in which she played the role of real-life breast cancer activist and philanthropist Lilly Tartikoff Harmon has spent most of her life in front of the camera. Both of her parents were models, and she began modeling when she was a baby. At the age of 15, she beat out 63,000 entrants to win Seventeen Magazine’s cover model contest. She then returned to Texas to graduate from Highland Park High School, where she was on both the track team and drill team. Upon graduation, Angie traveled between New York and Los Angeles, where she began to study acting. She made her feature film debut in the independent film Lawn Dogs, opposite Sam Rockwell. The film screened at both the Toronto Film Festival and the Sundance Film Festival. Harmon’s many movie credits include The Good Mother, Fun with Dick and Jane, Agent Cody Banks and the independent film Seraphim Falls. She made her network television series debut starring opposite Eric Roberts as the rookie member of the FBI’s elite crime unit on the series C-16: FBI. Harmon currently resides in Los Angeles with her husband and three daughters.

Content from the official TNT Rizzoli & Isles website . Dr. Maura Isles I want to believe that there is a scientific explanation for everything that happens. It isn’t fate that sends a bicyclist flying over the handlebars to her death; it’s because her front tire hit a frost heave and kinetic energy took over. Fate has nothing to do with it. Death is not a mystical process; it is organic. I find that comforting. I knew, from an early age, that I was something of an odd duck. I was the child who hid out in her room for hours, reading, the child who dissected her dead pet mouse. I was the scholar, the accomplished pianist, the honor student. My parents understood that I was different, and although they were not people who’d crow loudly about anything, I always knew they were proud of me. My devotion to logic and science drew me to the study of medicine. But soon after I began medical school, I realized that I wasn’t meant to work with living patients. I wasn’t good at holding their hands, at ferreting out the unspoken emotional clues in their voices when they told me of their aches and pains.

I can analyze x-rays and blood chemistries, I can slice open muscles and organs, but I possess no scalpel with which to dissect human emotions. So I became a forensic pathologist. Boston is my home now. These cold New England winters suit me, as does my job as medical examiner. But I have little in common with the Boston PD detectives with whom I work. I think some of them may even be afraid of me, because I see their wary glances and hear their whispers as I walk past. And I know what they call me behind my back: “The Queen of the Dead.” About Sasha Alexander A talented and versatile actress in both film and television, Sasha Alexander is best known for her role as Special Agent Caitlin “Kate” Todd in the first two seasons of the popular drama NCIS.

Marissa: You always vacuum when you have a tough case. Rizzoli: Huh. Rizzoli: Did you ever like the same guy as your best friend? Isles: No. Rizzoli: Did you ever have a best friend? Isles: No. Rizzoli: You'd tell me if you were a cyborg, right? Isles: No, I don't think I would. Rizzoli: [laughs] Isles: I'm not seeing him. [referring to FBI Agent Dean] Rizzoli: Yet. Isles: Somebody should, don't you think? Rizzoli: Yep.

Isles: Should we draw straws? Rizzoli: Couldn't we just show him our tits and let him decide? [they laugh] Isles: Who is Henry Deduboto? Isles: That's... five letters too many for that anagram. Rizzoli: How do you do that?! Rizzoli: We're going to surveil this body. Isles: What, you mean leave her here? Rizzoli: Yes. I said you wouldn't like it. Let's go. Isles: No. I'm calling my team. Rizzoli: Maura, they weren't expecting anyone to find this body! Look at where she's hidden! Hear me out. Hear me out! We get the hell out of here, we put both the park entrances under surveillance! Isles: What makes you think Hoyt isn't watching you right now? Rizzoli: He might be! I'm willing to take that gamble! Isles: What? By leaving this body here in hopes that he'll return? No. No! Every second she stays here more forensic evidence is lost! Rizzoli: Maura, please.

The faster we get out of here the better chance we have of not being discovered, okay? Because if we don't do this, we got nothing!

Rizzoli: Thirty years of experience says otherwise. Isles: Two centimeter singular gunshot wound, mid-chest. Rizzoli: I bet we're looking for a 9mm.

[looks defensive when Dr. Isles looks at her in exasperation] I'll have ballistics confirm, I just like to guess! [pause] And I'm usually right! Rizzoli: [looks at a sandwich] Is this from the good fridge or the dead people fridge? Isles: [smiles] Cold air is cold air. Rizzoli: How old is it? No, don't tell me! I'm too hungry. Rizzoli: Dr. Maura Isles: knuckle deep in germy bar snacks. I'm shocked. Isles: Oh, I had representative samples tested. Bacteria count fell within acceptable limits. Do you want one? Rizzoli: It must be very complicated to be you. Isles: [smiles] You have no idea. Rizzoli: I applied to BCU. Isles: It's very hard to get into. Rizzoli: I got in. Isles: Why didn't you go? Rizzoli: [shrugs] I wanted to be a cop. Isles: What's the real reason? Rizzoli: My father would have spent everything to send me there, and I couldn't do that to him.

Isles: The castle in Scotland is much bigger. The place on the Cape is beautiful, too. Rizzoli: You could have been a Fairfield. How did we not know this?! Isles: Could you stop saying that? Frost: Whooooo. This is a Spyker C8 Laviolette ! That's 400 horses up under there! I don't see these in magazines. Isles: Garrett's here. He's always liked the finer things in life. Rizzoli: Yeah. He liked you. Isles: What's your take? Korsak: My take is that you are the chief medical examiner and this is not your first floater. Isles: It is my, uh, forty third. Yes, my forty third. Korsak: I've been a cop a long time. I know when people aren't telling me the whole story. Isles: Jane's mad at me! Korsak: Oh, boy.

Isles: Oh, so that's what you think? You think this is all about fashion for me?? Rizzoli: Um, no? It's not about fashion? Isles: No, it's not! Rizzoli: What is it about, then? Isles: I used to sit at the Musée d'Orsay for hours and just stare at it. Do you know what I mean? Rizzoli: [sarcastically] Yes, the Rizzoli family vacations there every summer. Isles: Have you ever tried to appreciate Euler's number e ? You know, the beautiful equation that connects three constants of mathematics? Have you? Rizzoli: Yeah, I tried it once. [Korsak laughs] Isles: I am in awe of what human beings can do. I am in awe of the hand knit channel stitching on this sweater. I am in awe of the artisan who molded and shaped this shoe.

I'm Your Boogie Man [1.08][ edit ] Isles: [examining a dead body on a park bench] Body temp is low. He's been sitting here a while. Rizzoli: [observing what the body is holding] It's today's paper. Was he reading the stock pages and slit his own throat? Isles: There's something very odd about the edges of the wound. Rizzoli: Well, yeah, the whole thing's odd! I mean, there's no blood. There's no sign of struggle. What, death by a sharp nap?! Isles: The darkening of the nasojugal fold indicates fatigue and vitamin deficiencies. Rizzoli: [looking at the victim] Hmm. Isles: You.

You have dark circles under your eyes. Are you not sleeping again? Rizzoli: [flippantly] Thank you. You look nice, too. Rizzoli: It looks like karma finally caught up to him. Isles: Sanskrit word: a cycle of cause and effect. I think it originated in the Shri Mana tradition. Rizzoli: Do you have to do that? Isles: Do what? The Beast in Me [1.09][ edit ] Frost: We're waiting on a warrant, can't touch the car. Female commuter out of view: I've been here twenty minutes. Jane: Yeah, yeah, you're in a hurry for your latte.

Frost: Stuck in traffic. Jane: She shouldn't wear high heels to a crime scene. Maura: [walks into the scene] Why not? These are very comfortable. Jane: I'll bet you can run in them, too.

Maura: [smiling] I don't think that's a good idea. Maura: I sent the blood samples to the crime lab, but I have no doubt this man is my father. Jane: Since when do you jump to conclusions? Maura: Since I found out who I really am. [to photos on the table] Stabbed, shot, shot, shot. [twists ring on her finger] Oh, my God. Did you see what I did? He does that. He introduced himself as Mr. Selsi. That's Isles. It's my adoptive name spelled backward. Jane: I know. You keep saying that. Maura: He was toying with me from the start while he was staring at his murdered son! Jane: Come on. He came to say a final goodbye to Colin, and he knew that you wanted a DNA sample so he gave you some of his blood. That's a guy with balls! Maura: You're defending a stone cold killer! Jane: No, I'm -- yes, I am. Uh, and I'm going to stop now. Look, I think that whomever killed Colin knew that his murder would draw Patrick out.

If it makes you feel better these were all bad guys. Maura: He said Colin was too much like him. What about me? What I do for a living? I'm around more death than he is. Jane: But you're not the one doing the killing. When the Gun Goes Bang, Bang [1.10][ edit ] Jane: He's having trouble breathing. Do something. Maura: I'm a pathologist. I am not a surgeon, Jane. I could make it worse. Jane: [grabs a book from a shelf] What is it again? Say it again. Maura: Tension pneumothorax . What are you doing? Jane: [reads quickly] Tension pneumothorax results in death if not treated immediately. Oh, God. Maura: Jane, I'm just guessing, okay? I would need to confirm it! Jane: You don't have time to confirm it! Your guess is better than most doctors! Maura: I could be wrong! Jane: [continues reading] Aggressively manage with needle decompression to chest. Maura: I've never done it! Jane: Maura, please! Get a needle! Do it! Do it now!

We are gathering data to test a hypothesis, which is the first step of scientific inquiry. Jane: Nice try. We -- you and I --we are snooping, meddling. We are sticking our noses where they do not belong. [Frankie and his girlfriend pull up] Jane: Oh, my God, I've turned into my mother.

But I didn't spend my life playing with bug larva. Isles: There has been a recent infestation of the Asian Longhorn Rizzoli: Please don't tell me that they're marching to my apartment. Isles: They're only found in this one area, Loyalist Park. Rizzoli: Wait, are you saying Dante could have been killed in this park? Isles: Oh, no. I'm only able to conclusively say that Dante's shoes were in Loyalist Park the night he was murdered. Rizzoli: Okay, you know what? You are officially ridiculous. His shoes didn't go there by themselves. [begins to walk out] Come on, Maura. He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother [2.12][ edit ] Rizzoli: [referring to the victim] Who is he? Korsak: Paul Langford, 34. Isles: He suffered what appears to be a single gunshot wound to the chest. [leans forward] Oh, that's a shame. Rizzoli: What? Isles: Quite a bit of intra-abdominal fat. Belly fat.

You know, it's linked to high cholesterol, high insulin levels. Rizzoli: I don't think he's worried about his cholesterol level, Maura. Frost: Blood spatter indicates he was shot inside this van. Rizzoli: This is strange looking blood. Isles: Do you see why I will only commit to a redish brown stain? This is not blood. Rizzoli: Well what is it then, Dr. Smarty Pants? Isles: Paint. Yeah. I see flecks of avocado green, Tiffany Blue -- Rizzoli: Enough, Picasso. Rizzoli: Tommy was telling the truth: John was painting yesterday morning. If he was doing that he couldn't have possibly be robbing a bank. Isles: Unlike electrons, human beings can't be in two places at once. Some physical laws of quantum mechanics. Rizzoli: I kind of love that you know that. Isles: You do? So you don't hate me? Rizzoli: No, I still hate you. Isles: Okay. I'll work on hating you too. Rizzoli: [finds herself presented with a bottle of wine] But I'm having grilled cheese.

Isles: But it goes with anything. It's a 1994 Château d'Yquem . Rizzoli: Again? I'm so sick of that. Isles: [laughs] It's sheer perfection. I've only had it once. Rizzoli: Listen, I don't want to stand in the way of a great romance, okay? Isles: What do you mean? Rizzoli: You and Tommy. I mean, clearly opposites attract. Isles: It's an evolutionary strategy to ensure healthy reproduction. Rizzoli: Okay, why do you gotta go straight to breeding? All right? With my brother. Isles: [laughs] Look, I like Tommy. A lot. But I love you, and I hate it when you hate me, so I don't want to do anything to compromise our friendship. Rizzoli: Good, because I hate it when I have to hate you. Seventeen Ain't So Sweet [2.13][ edit ] Jane: What do you think? Did she kill herself? Maura: The bruising and deep-tissue injury around the ligature exceeds the circumference of the noose.

Jane: Fifteen words where one would do. Maura: Not a suicide. She was strangled by the rope and posed in the chair. Jane: Looks like we'll be bringing in Eddie after all.

Jane: Maura, I don't think she's doing handstands in her ski boots. Maura: Probably not.

Welcome to the Dollhouse [3.04][ edit ] Maura: [referring to Jane's first meeting with Casey and Jane's discovery that Casey is partially paralyzed] How did it go? Jane: I asked him to go rollerblading. Maura: Shut the front door. You did not. Jane: Oh, yeah. I did. I think I may have also suggested running. Throwing Down the Gauntlet [3.05][ edit ] Jane: They had to bring in Sister Bitcher. The "Lord's work", yeah. That's what she said when she hit me with a ruler because I misspelled flamboyant!

Maura: Why was the word flamboyant on a second grade spelling test at a Catholic school? Jane: I don't know! Jane: [referring to the murder victim] No one has reported her missing. Why not? Maura: Well, she has a depressed skull fracture. Jane: Must have been a hefty weapon. Maura: Not a weapon. Jane: So she woke up this morning and after she brushed her teeth she thought, gee my head hurts. [smiles] Maura: No. She had a contrecoup contusion from a massive fall. Contrecoup means -- Jane: It's not my first rodeo. It means her brain bounced around inside her skull. Maura: After striking a hard object. Jane: So, not a pillow? Maura: [deadpan] It takes longer when you make jokes. Jane: I would poke my eyes out with a scalpel if I didn't make jokes. Money Maker [3.06][ edit ] Maura: I think we're a match. Jane: You're not really my type. Maura: [smiles] Me and Kaylyn. Jane: I think we're having different conversations. Maura: Kaylyn needs a kidney.

Jane: So you're going to make it out of that cake? Maura: Of course not. I needed a sample of her DNA. Jane: You're not going to give her a kidney. Maura: It's my kidney. I can give it to whomever I please. Jane: Oh, so you told Hope? Maura: I'm going to donate anonymously. Jane: Do you need help getting it out or are you going to do that by yourself too? No! Maura, what are you thinking? No! Maura: Kaylyn's dying, Jane, and Hope is overwhelmed. The last thing she needs is to relive the worst day of her life: my birth and death. Jane: I guess I just don't get it. Maura: If I tell her who I am I'll be a reminder of her tragic past. I'll never be anything else to her. I mean, what? We only need one kidney. Jane: You're incredible. Maura: You'd do the same for one of your brothers. Jane: Maybe, but they'd have to be really, really nice. I'd definitely do it for you, though.

[Jane and Maura are at an extremely fancy restaurant] Jane: What is "Little Birds and Gems?" Maura: Lettuce. Maura: I know, right? It's a very nice kidney. Jane: I'm sure it is. You should keep it. In your body. Crazy for You [3.07][ edit ] Jane: Maura, this is very serious. Maura: It is? Jane: No! You haven't started the autopsy yet?! Maura: Pike is handing out hats, and pens, and travel mugs. This is swag, detective. Jane: I'll get our swag unit on it. Cuts Like a Knife [3.08][ edit ] Maura: So you must have had a wedding fantasy when you were little. Come on, every little girl has one. Jane: Okay. It wasn't really a fantasy. It was -- I had this dumb idea that I would say my vows at Fenway over homeplate. In a Red Sox jersey. [laughs] Maura: [laughing] It's not dumb. It's not exactly elegant, but at least it's colorful.

Jane: We would have the reception on the pitcher's mound, and we would serve foot-long hotdogs and frozen lemonade. The guests would throw peanuts at us instead of rice. Maura: Can I come? Maura: A Red Sox jersey? Jane: Okay, you're in my fantasy. You cannot tell me what to wear! Home-town Glory [3.09][ edit ] Melt My Heart to Stone [3.10][ edit ] Maura: Okay, let's go. It starts in fifteen minutes. Jane: What starts?
